That could be a nice idea, just maybe a bit out of my reach :-)

Well, old ZX Spectrum with its 48K RAM extension (I and my brother said when we extended the RAM: "What are we going to do with all this memory?" :-D ) used just 64K and you could do nice stuff. The first release of Turbo Pascal (editor and compiler integrated) was a .COM, limited by design to 64K.
I agree that it is easier to work without this limitation, but also the job of a flash microcontroller is not very complex.
